RAT ON THE FREEWAY


February was a month spent on the freeway looking for locations for a new series I'm writing, we just had to get out there and drive.... so Kev, me and the trusty Ratmobile hit the road yeahhhhh!!! We drove east to Arizona and Phoenix, down to Tucson, El Paso, across to White Sands New Mexico which was stunning!
Continually on the search for something fascinatin' to film, we always recce first then film later after a schedule has been put together.
We met aliens in Roswell New Mexico, visited the UFO Museum there and sounded out the locals for filmin'!
Drove to Alberquerque and then down to Lake Havasu back in Arizona to check out the LONDON BRIDGE which was exported brick by brick from the UK. They thought they'd bought TOWER BRIDGE and were a little disappointed when it was built that it wasn't what they thought they had purchased! lt was just a borin' old bridge from England...hilarious in my book! All the area around the bridge is like London complete with phone boxes with their doors off, not workin' and shops closed due to the recession!
Back in the Ratcave in L.A. we can now assess what areas to shoot and what not. MARCH means the soft toys should start appearin' in the shops, there are three different types, a talkin' me, a smaller beanie of me and a car version to stick on yer car window ....fab yeahhhhhhh!

2011 RAT@ THE GLOBES

As usual ratfans I was forced to attend the Golden Globes last night, the champagne flowed and I got slightly slewed as usual! Even so Ricky's routine seemed to be flat this year even after a few drinks and stuffin' me face with the free chocs on the table... a bit extreme maybe for the American patrons? I larfed me head off but very few other stars did.
The after party was good even though my old flame Fox was there with her borin' new husband which was a bit embarrassing! But old Mulligan made up for that, her hands were all over me yeahhhh!
BAFTA'S next and I have forced meeself to watch hundreds of borin' screeners just so I know what I'm voting for!! After that it's the Oscars of course which I will attend again this year yeahhhh!
Gotta try and write these blogs a bit more frequently as the last one was dated 2009 ....pathetic innit!
2011 is goin' to be a fab year we are busy editing ROLAND GOES EAST so more DVD's to come ratfans yeahhhh!
